As capital of North Carolina, Raleigh has carefully preserved its heritage and beauty. One can still enjoy the comfort of a shaded oak, browse through one of many magnificent museums, or admire the architecture of a historical building. Here, the past and future live together in harmony. Raleigh was established as the capital city of North Carolina in 1792, over 200 years ago. However, its history reaches back to sixteenth century England and Sir Walter Raleigh, the Father of English America. Sir Raleigh established the first English colonies in the New World on the shores of North Carolina, working under a patent from Queen Elizabeth I. Raleigh is unique among American state capitals in that it was established on land specifically purchased by the state for its government seat.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

We accomplish this through a network of affiliates that marshals resources, en- courages community dialogue, and builds permanent assets that enrich the qual- ity of life for our citizens and through prudent administrative and management services that support donors and their philanthropic objectives. Seasons WHILE “EVERLASTING” WAS THE VISION OUR FOUNDERS HAD FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, THEIR INTENT WAS NOT TO CONSIGN US TO ETERNAL SPRING. As the Foundation prepares to enter a third decade, we’ll survive – and thrive – be- cause we’ve created an enduring, flexible structure that can flow with the seasons and respond to the changing needs of our donors, volunteers and communities throughout the state. The dramatic changes in the past year provide a case in point. We successfully assimilated new leader- ship, regulations, investment options and fee structures, while achieving growth in several categories including assets, affiliates, programs and grants. This progress is covered further in the following pages. And because we’re comprised of a collection of organizations, all at various levels of development, the Foundation has worked strategically to coordinate the people, partnerships and programs required to meet a wide range of needs.
